Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 1 3, 1906.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known thatwe, J AMES PAULL and ASA G. NEVILLE, of Wellsburg, Brookecounty, West Virginia, have invented a new and useful Glass Article, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly insection, of our improved glass article. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on theline II II of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a cross-section similar to Fig. 2,showing a modified form.

Our invention is designed to provide a new and attractive glassreceptacle which may be cheaply made in large quantities.

In the drawings, 2 represents the lanternshaped glass body of thearticle, which is open at both ends and is provided with externalscrew-threads 3 and 4 at its top and bottom. This body also has externalribs 5 and corresponding external grooves 6, said ribs and grooves beinformed in the process of blowing the blank from which the body is madeto give it its expanded form, by which operation the lower screw-threads4 may also be formed.

A sheet-metal base 7, having an upper screw-threaded portion, is securedupon the lower screw-threaded base of the glass receptacle, this basehaving a suitable closure or bottom 8 secured therein to closethe bottomof the glass rece tacle. This closure 8 may be in the form 0 a disk,which is soldered in place, or may be of any other desirable form ofsuitable character to hold candy or similar material in the receptacle.The closure may be secured by seaming or by other means than solderin Aperforated screw-cap 9, also formed 0 sheet metal, is screwed upon theopen top, and a swinging bail 10 is preferably pivoted to this cap Inthe form of the invention shown in Figs.

and 2 the bottom closure-plate 8 is provided with a series ofperforations. In this form after the candy or other material sold in thearticle is used u the article may be used as a lantern by acing a candlewith in it, air being supphed through the lower holes. The article canbe used as a Christmas-tree decoration or otherwise, as desired.

In the form shown in Fig. 3 the perforations are omitted and the solidbottom 8 is employed.

The advantages of our invention result from the simplicity andattractiveness of the article and from its capability of beingmanufactured in large quantities at small cost. The metal base, with itsclosure, may also be cheaply formed and attached.

Variations may be made in the size and shape of the glass receptacle andthe other parts'without departing from our invention.

As a new article of manufacture, a lantern-shaped glass bodyhaving an open top with external screw-threads and an open bottom withexternal screw-threads, and an expanded intermediate portion, incombination with a metal base, screwed on the bottom of the body andcarrying a closure, and a metal cap screwed to its top; substantially asdescribed.
